Well, it seems as if it has been a month or so since my last blog post....oops. I guess I've just so caught up in all of the excitement here in Germany that I forgot to keep the blog updated, my bad!
So where should I begin? Certainly a lot has happened in the past month, so Ill just try to hit the main points. So here goes!
It seems as if I was in Austria for a week? Yea, kind of a big thing I suppose. Anyways, my host family and I headed down sometime in October, during the school's fall break. All I can say is, the Alps are beautiful and quite a wonder to behold. I ended up renting a mountainbike, and riding every day. If you want to see exactly where we were, google Vandans, Austria and check out the map. But I think I'll just let the pictures tell the story.
And there's plenty of other stuff going on too! I had a great time on halloween, met with a bunch of friends and went to halloween parties and such. Ive been quite busy with school, trying to bridge the langauge gap as fast as possible. Chemistry in German is definitely a swift kick in the rear end. However, my German has become exponentially better! My host dad thinks I'm almost fluent. Thats always a good thing!
I've made so many new friends here, and it seems like there is no shortage of things to do! Every weekend I'm training with my cycling team, or playing rugby, or just hangin out with friends! Instead of writing 8 pages of narrative, I think that it's best to let the pictures do the talking, and in the future I'll break things up into smaller pieces, and not wait a month in between. So enjoy the show!!
So its pretty obvious by now that Im doing a LOT of stuff here, I'm truly having a great time and cherishing every moment I have here. Naturally, all of this action has left me a bit worn out, so I'll leave y'all with a little evidence of that! Stay tuned for the next entry! Hopefully it wont last as long.

I'm still really jealous! This is such a great experience. I definitely want to study abroad a year in college. At my school I know about five people who were hosts families for Austrians. But they left a few days ago and were only here for two weeks. I don't think they could fully understand the different culture in such a short period of time. Keep having fun!
